We have long supplied wire basket but are now offering a PVC alternative where this type of material is better suited to a more harsher environment. The PVC tray utilises corrosion-free and UV stabilised properties which provide ultimate protection against coastal, chemical, water treatment and corrosive environments, guaranteeing a long and lasting product life. Not only does the tray deliver the perfect properties to meet this type of environment but it is also lightweight and therefore easy to handle and transport as well as being simple to cut to length and no earthing required, therefore, saving time and cost on installation.

Offering a higher ignition point of up to 15% than standard PVC, the halogens contained within the products are released at a slower rate, therefore, smoke release is also reduced by up to 65% in the first four minutes of a fire.
The SLXL product range has been under development for some time from our headquarters in Austria. Not only does it essentially complete the Univolt range catering for Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, Cat8 and OM3 Fibre Optic cables, but it now offers far reaching safety benefits through its slow burning fire resistant properties. SLXL offers customers something entirely different, combining functionality and aesthetics with safety and durability as well as delivering a future proof cabling solution.
We are already seeing Cat8 being installed within data centres, delivering 2000MHz bandwidth, representing three times more than Cat 6A. Whilst we don’t envisage this having any major impact on the commercial market for the next 12 months, this product essentially future-proofs any cable containment system.
Safety has and continues to be the most pressing element when approaching any electrical installation. With relatively little price differentiator between PVC and PVC- LSF, and with very few other manufacturers offering this specification, we see this as an easy choice to make.
The introduction of SLXL effectively completes the Univolt cable containment range, reinforcing the one-stop-shop ethos with supporting wire basket systems, including quick fit accessories. We recognised the need to introduce this latest generation of cable management in response to the needs of our electrical wholesaler customers. The wholesaler is keen to offer as much choice as possible to today’s installer whose requirements are based around speed of installation with the latest product features to distribute advanced data cabling through differing environments. We're proud to have taken this approach a step further.
The firm is also one of only a handful of companies to offer a PVC cable tray, a move that has taken place in recent months. This product has been developed specifically to meet the needs of aggressive or coastal environments, providing a lasting and durable cable containment solution.
Our latest aluminium white power pole (PP2WT), introduced onto the UK market earlier this year, has been designed with an adjustable telescopic arm for ease of installation. The power pole sits at 3.5m and is extendable up to 3.95m, with the option of an extra extension kit (PP2EXT) at 2.5m, offering an overall height of 6m. We recently supplied a large quantity of bespoke round aluminium power poles with a specific RAL colour with mosaic power and data outlets to meet the clients specific requirements. With the majority of buildings now having to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), we have launched a range of products incorporating a ‘light grey lid’including our new power pole, 3 compartment SLXL-LSF and bench trunking, enabling a 30% contrast between a white trunking centre lid and white socket, for those with impaired vision.

For us, creating the ultimate and complete cable containment range remains our driving force. Whilst we continue to introduce products that are also available via other manufacturers, certain products are more bespoke and unique to Univolt.
Building a range that meets the needs of every specifier or contractor, in any project or environment remains our end goal. We are undoubtedly leading the way in safe trunking solutions in terms of fire prevention, and this will continue to set us apart however we understand that some customers are keen to continue to focus on the more traditional lines and so we must also offer this in response.
There are more products under development from our headquarters in Vienna and we look forward to making further announcements this year and into 2022.
